    lets see your foundation stock

    I measure it around 1.7" from the forward face of the hand grip (vertical plane) to the inside curve of a TT Diamond pro curve trigger.

    Vortex Impact 4000 in Comps

    I shot and RO'd a NRL Hunter match a few weeks back, which is a 4 minute find/range/engage format. There were 200+ shooters including 20+ teams shooting the event and I got to watch them all shoot. I saw a few Vortex 4000's mounted on rifles, but I don't think I saw anyone actually use it during...

    6mm Dasher

    Depends on whether you intend to shoot in adverse/wet/dusty conditions, how much you care about a slight amount of effort on bolt lift (particularly as you get multiple firings on the brass), and how long you want the primer pockets to last. Lapua vs Alpha also has different case capacity...

    130 vs 140+ class bullets for PRS

    I recently shot 6.5 creed in an NRL Hunter match with 153.5's at 2540 in an 11lb gun. I was shocked at how well you could see trace and how much time you had to spot impacts, despite the much lighter gun. My normal PRS rig is 105 hybrids at 2850 in a 23lb gun so it's not like I was fast to begin...

    lets see your foundation stock

    It's a fairly noticeable difference, I've got both. MG2 grip is angled backwards in a more traditional sense, and is narrower at the top and flares out at the bottom. The Centurion is a pure vertical grip, it's fatter horizontally, and puts your hand closer to the trigger. They put your wrist at...

    Positional Shooting (PRS)

    Reframe the problem. It's not about securing the rifle, it's about positioning your body so YOU don't move. Test yourself dry fire aiming off a ladder or whatever prop in all the main positions (high standing, low standing, high kneeling, low kneeling). Connect to the rifle in a normal fashion...

    Setting Up Targets

    I really like the T-post target hanger system from D-M Targets. He also has an angled hanger bracket if you want the target sloped downward. https://www.d-mtargets.com/store/c6/hangersstands I use them for both long range and also for close up pistol targets, have thousands of rounds on them...

    Here you go, depth of inlet is about 1.5"

    Temp affects on point of impact

    A change of 75 fps could easily result in a change in your rifle's zero, even ignoring the ballistic effects of bullet drop. Different harmonics, barrel movement on recoil, etc can all have an effect. A change of 75fps and a change in the air density from summer to winter will have all sorts...

    How to x" jam bullet

    Benchrest shooters are the ones who do this the most and they use that term based on a reference to the point where the bullet just touches the lands. So "jam 0.005" would be 5 thousandths past touch. If you define jam as the hard stop end point, then it's not really possible to jam 0.005 beyond...

    Temp affects on point of impact

    Two separate issues. First is powder temperature sensitivity. Some powders will burn faster and more aggressively in higher temperatures giving you a higher muzzle velocity. Other powders are less sensitive and will be close to the same speed in a variety of weather conditions. Second issue...

    Lanolin/Alcohol Sizing Lube Recipes?

    Doesn't look like Voodoo's on the forum much anymore, but yes you can spray it with a spray bottle. I use one I got off Amazon, it's a Chemical Guys heavy duty chemical resistant 16oz sprayer bottle. I'm sure lots of other ones would work too. One bottle goes a long way, it only takes 3-4 sprays...

    PRS Talk APA Fat bastard Gen3 vs Little Bastard on 6.5CM

    I don't think you're missing out on anything with the 5 port brake versus the 4 port. If you like the looks of the 5 port it probably will be a tiny bit more effective than the 4 port. Ironically, I use 5 port Gen III Fat Bastard on my 6mm PRS gun but I run a four port Gen III Little Bastard on...

    lets see your foundation stock

    Added a new Foundation stock to the fold.... Centurion inlet for RimX. Love the finish on this one, it's got the lightweight buttstock so balances much easier. Will probably add a brass weight kit to it here soon.

    New to competition some basic questions

    Looks like you're on the right track. I would say that you will probably find that Cole-Tac Woobie stretch poorly suited for positional shooting, it's not going to be nearly as stable as something like a gamechanger. There's very little risk in buying a sand-filled schmedium game changer before...

    Load development or not?

    PRS is such a skill game that you can't reload yourself into even the mid-pack no matter how much time you spend on it, and that in the hands of a skilled shooter even a mediocre gun can win. I know of a national championship being won with a gun shooting 3/4 MOA+ a few years back. You've got a...

    6mm Dasher

    Quickload puts those loads at right around 70k PSI if you have a 30" barrel, closer to 75k PSI if you are using a 26" barrel. I've shot 115's and 110's and pushed speed too, it's certainly possible and Lapua/Alpha brass is tough stuff and isn't necessarily going to blow up. It's still way over...

    6mm Dasher

    Even with a very long barrel I would not recommend shooting at those upper speed ranges. Way over pressure.

    12rnd Billet AW magazine for BR size cartridges from Gray Ops

    Looks like a very exciting product, I bet they will sell a ton of them. I'm curious whether any folks will have trouble getting feeding dialed in if the mag catch height alone doesn't solve their issue. With standard AW mags there seems to be a fair bit of mag-tuning and bending feedlips to...

    The "a chassis should not need to be bedded" myth........

    I had two MPA chassis, I bedded them both after testing. I now have four Foundation stocks and haven't bedded any of them.
